'I've never seen Shrewsbury with such a buzz' – Shropshire music festival breaks footfall records at its first-ever event in the town.
Shrewsbury's new free-entry music festival, Loopfest, which was held in venues across the town last weekend, has broken footfall records.
Festival organiser, Jamie Smith said:"It wasn’t a case of if we can do it, it had to happen. I only had two months to get the venues on board, book the acts, build the website, promote and plan the event. Sam Ryan, a local musician from Stafford, performed at The Kings Head pub on Mardol, before going to The Hive venue at Belmont for a jam session on Saturday.
"But as someone growing up in-and-around Shropshire, I've never seen it with such a buzz. It was inspiring to see so many people out in the town."
